TWO teenagers ambushed a man and left him unconscious for 15 minutes.

Ali Qamar, 18, a 17-year-old boy and other youths, pounced on Marian Tamas outside Glasgow Central Station on August 12, 2021.

The victim was brought to the ground where his head and upper body were stamped upon at least 40 times, as he lay motionless.

One of the attackers rifled through Mr Tamas' pockets before Qamar and the 17-year-old fled the scene.

The pair pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assaulting Mr Tamas to his injury and danger of life.

Sheriff Gerard Bonnar ordered them to do 270 hours of unpaid work.

He also slapped a tag on them, keeping the 17-year-old indoors for six months and Qamar for three months, between 8pm to 6am on Mondays to Saturdays.

The sheriff also placed the 17-year-old on supervision for two years.

The court heard Mr Tamas and Marius Constantin were outside the Hope Street entrance to the station around 2.30am.

Horror CCTV played to the court showed the gang of youths nearby.

Qamar punched Mr Tamas to the head, which caused him to fall to the ground.

An unnamed youth then kicked him to the head and body, while Mr Tamas was on the ground.

Another unnamed youth repeatedly kicked the victim before Qamar also struck repeated blows with his feet.

One of the youths was seen to search Mr Tamas and took his belongings.

Prosecutor Hannah Sweeney said: "Mr Tamas had now become unconscious on the ground.

"The 17-year-old approached the victim and punched him to the face then repeatedly kicked him on the head.

"Both the 17-year-old and Qamar punched him before the teen kicked him to the head.

"He then ran and jumped on his head violently, repeatedly kicking him."

The two were seen to flee the scene and were later traced separately by police in the city centre.

Miss Sweeney added: "Officers had attended Hope Street where Mr Tamas was being treated having been unconscious for 15 minutes."

He was then taken to hospital and fortunately escaped with minor injuries.

The court heard of other incidents involving the pair between June and September 2021.

The 17-year-old hurled threats and punched a Lidl employee after being told to wear a face mask.

He also hit a shop employee with a crowbar to the forehead after he was refused cigarettes.

In a later incident, he hurled racist abuse at a shop employee after being refused cigarettes again.

The 17-year-old again fought with shop employees after he was refused service due to the previous incidents.

The teen produced a knife during the incident before threatening to stab one of the workers.

He then pointed the blade at the worker's neck, however, the teen was eventually overpowered and the knife was thrown away.

Qamar, of Kelvinside, was also involved in the fight meantime and pleaded guilty to assaulting an employee to his injury.

The 17-year-old separately admitted numerous charges of assault, and behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.
